Abstract
IN this country, and to a great extent elsewhere, the testing of building stones has fallen short of the precision attained in the testing of other materials of construction. This has been due partly to the lack of any generally recognised standard methods, and partly to the neglect of the petrological characters peculiar to stones of different kinds.
